Saturday Six

1. This pin mostly because the comments sum up exactly how I feel after watching the finale an hour to go.  Crazy-finales are usually ok but seriously?!  We now have to wait until November to figure out what the heck just happened.  My head hurts just thinking about it...

2. Annapolis in the summer.  Yesterday we got a sneak peak at the summer to come; in the sense that it was finally warm and sunny enough to hang out side, which it seems, hundreds of people chose to do in downtown Nap-town. It was a beautiful evening, with great company and fantastic weather.  Of course it was kinda crummy again today but now that we've had a taste, I'm sure there'll be many more beautiful Nap-town nights to come.

3. Embroidery: I know this makes me sound like a little old lady BUT I'm kind of loving it. It's so much easier than crochet and you can create any pattern you like with just a few quick stitches.  I have a totally geeky and quite awesome project in my head right now but I'm some serious need of some very specific fabric. Whenever I find it, I promise to share though, don't get too excited, I'm a bit of a nerd and it's pretty geeky.

4. UK Press: Most people I know read the US press. That makes perfect sense to me.  But for the really big stories, that everyone really needs to know, the UK Press covers them quite well so I'm still in the know.  I'm just feeding my addiction for all things Brit.  Every once in a while, though, I get a story that re-affirms why I read the UK papers and how much cooler their papers are than ours.  This particular headline is one of those stories.  Why is this even news?  Because it's fabulous, that's why! : )

5.  Olivia Colman: I must admit, I wouldn't have had a clue as to who she even was, if I hadn't watched Broadchurch, but now that I have, I find her fascinating!  She's a brilliant actress and seems to be one of the most fun people to be around in the whole world.  If you don't believe me, watch her acceptance speech for one of the two BAFTAs she received last weekend.  After this speech, she earned a seat at the fantasy dinner party list. (Oh and I would kill for that dress she's wearing!)

 

6. Farmer's Market: There's a tiny one right down the street from my office that is open every summer, all summer.  It just opened this week which in my book means that it's officially summer!
